Lucha Workshop Sweeps the First Annual Plummy Awards
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006 Lucha Workshop surprised the public last week, by winning four “Plummy” awards for excellence in crafting. (http://plummies.plumofthemonth.com/) The awards include: Most fines payed to IRS, Best company that rhymes with Blucha Morkshop, Most employees named Franklin (3), and “The Effort Award” for the kids who obviously had no help from their parents building their website.
The event took a turn for the worse when Clarence, Lucha Workshop’s CEO, took to the podium. A visibly inebriated Clarence criticized “lazy carrots,” comic artists crybabies who take way too long making their web comics and tropical fruits in general. Uncomfortable silence filed the auditorium as Clarence joked about The Button Arcade, saying “I’ve been on that site-where are all the games anyway? It should be called The Button No-Arcade.” This was followed by mild pity laughter. Event staff quickly responded by escorting Clarence off the stage.
Our legal department(a couple of copies of a law journal from 1913) had this to say: The Button Arcade is a great company, unaffected by whether or not their site contains any actual arcade games. Web comic artist will come around in their own time and should not be rushed, not all tropical fruit is an abomination, and It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.
